Correct. PWM power pins are 6V, and you get a couple of amps for driving servos.

The CAN connector looks a lot like the power connector on the 2CAN. Probably just the two wires. As a differential bus CAN shouldn't need the 5V and GND being passed around.
Correct as well - the CAN topology in this system does not distribute power. Power would be supplied to each device separately.
